Wymore city, NE in context
How this area compares with national benchmarks.
Wymore city is a small town in Nebraska, with 1,287 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #99 of 593 ranked by population — larger than 83% of them. The median age here is 43.5 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.
Households in Wymore city earn a median of $56,051 a year, 28.6% below the national figure of $78,538 and 17% below the $67,419 median for the 119 Nebraska cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 10.7% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.
The typical owner-occupied home in Wymore city is valued at $57,600, 81% below the national figure and 64% below the $161,800 peer median, while median gross rent runs $673 a month, 52.1% below the national figure, or roughly $8,076 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 14.4% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 1×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 75.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. The rent line includes utilities paid by the tenant, a definition worth remembering when comparing it against a landlord's quoted rate.
All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
